12.If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life,new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study,people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉).Over time,this can cause serious injuries.
Peter Schnohr,a researcher in Copenhagen,said,"If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy,jogging a few times a week at a moderate (适度的)pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary,and it may be harmful."
The implications (暗示)of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi,yoga and brisk (轻快的)walking may be better for us than"iron man"events,triathlons and long-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott,another researcher involved in the study,"You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much".

分析 短文讲述了运动与健康的关系.研究表明,过量的运动和不做运动一样,都对身体不益,过量运动会伤及一个人的心脏和动脉,只有适当的运动才有益于身体健康.像太极,瑜伽之类的温和的运动方式会比三项全能,马拉松长跑等高强度的运动方式更适合人体的健康.
解答 32.A 词义猜测题 hard 耗费体力的;regular 有规律的;practical 实际的;flexible 灵活的.根据文中people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.可知do a very strenuous workout和 do no exercise 是相对的,所以应该选A.
33.D 推断题.文章第一段提出最近的研究结论,即过度锻炼与不锻炼的人死亡率一样高,第二段讲丹麦科学家们的实验,并列举出了一系列数据,来证明提出的论点.故正确答案为D.
34.A 细节题.由第二段最后两句"…this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉).Over time,this can cause serious injuries."可知太剧烈的锻炼会引起心脏和动脉结构上的变化,随着时间增长,有可能导致严重的损伤.故正确答案为A.
35.C 推断题.文章最后告诉人们,"实际上,要改善健康并不需要做那么多.而且你其实很可能不应该做得过多.",也就是说适当的锻炼才是对身体有好处的.故正确答案为C.
点评 做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.
